dang thats unlucky - as long as the battery fell out it wouldnt have short circuited anything then i guess - just dont turn it on till its SUPER dry

do you think it's possible to use the elictric hands dryer? or it will do some problems?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
don't think a hairdryer should cause problems

about warranty then think all phones today have

indicators which show if they have been wet because

dropping it in water is not covered

surprisingly many people seem to drop phones in toilet

read it was the most common way for them to die

I have too admit my Xperia fell in once, after a few days all was okay, exept dpad wasnt functioning, and i couldnt hard reset or enter bootloader ( weird problem ) with the keys. Ended up replacing it, and forget asap.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquidgyB:
I haven't read that thread posted above yet, but never use a hairdryer/hand dryer. The can be quite hot coming out of the nozzle, if you're not careful you can melt plastic with them (I work in a helpdesk, I've seen laptops come in after a tiny spillage but with melted keyboards after being attacked by a hairdryer).

Best bet is to take all the covers you can off, dry with a towel/kitchen paper (toilet paper breaks up and leaves lots of little bits) and leave to dry *slowly* resting on a towel, folded several times over, on top of a radiator. Leave it there for 24 hours, more if it looks like there's still water in there.

I'd expect to see tide marks on the screen afterwards though, especially if you live in a hard water area. If you live in a soft water area you might be luckier and have very little residue.

Maybe u should let the x1 go where all the good phones go, phone heaven.

bit of advice dont answer your phone as u take a leak, friend done that in a nightclub and then had to reach in and get it out. even my beloved x1 would have stayed there (take it as a lose lol).

ps. i hope u get it working bud

Go and buy some Isopropanol, now open your phone and disassemble everything.

Fill some Isopropanol in an cup or something an lie the board inside. (IMPORTANT: The microphone and speaker and camera shouldn't get wet so get it off the board or if you can't you must seal them)

Now let the board lie in the cup for 1 night or so. the isopropanol should evaporate. the clue ist that the isoprop. is binding the water and the salts etc. in it and evaporates with them.

With this method i rescued several phone which was gone swimming :)

Sorry for my bad english ;)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
Kids...be sympathetic...:D

Anyway, also happened to me a while back, but with a PDA.

I dismantled it, washed it part by part and it worked like a charm after that.

The only thing was, the LCD was permanently stained or smth. One of the light diffusers into the lcd (which was paper btw) was damaged by the water.

But it was functional and I could still use it ok...until I fell on it...

And this happened (check attached file - if you look closely you can see the right part of the LCD is kinda missing)

I'm pretty curious to see your display after you manage to get it working...

Can you get some pics online?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaadoul:
the LCD was having some water shades in it, i opened it as you did in the picture, maybe more, i got eventually

1) Touch Panel

2) LCD (which contains)

a) white frame

b) Single Side Mirror

C) Transparent Film (like a lence)

d) simi transparent film (more like white)

e) Back Aluminum Foil (which acts like a mirror.

f) Thin Plastic thingy which have horizontal lines.

g) Transparent Film with Backlight installed on the buttom.

the LCD is working perfectly after cleaning it (with water and drying it out) it was very clear.

but it seems that some of the carbon wires are dammaged, not the LCD ones, but the ones that connects the upper and lower parts of the phone :(

now some times it misses the Red or Green color depending on the position :(

anyway, i'm happy that i could open this peace of art. it's really a great device.

after couple of days of using the Blackstone (Touch HD) i think it's better than the X1 (i'm sorry guys, i really love the Xperia)

the HD's screen is really great, Very big so works perfectly for browsing.

i was thinking that i will hate it because it's bulky and has no KB but.

bulky is an isse actually, but i can live with that, it's thin which make it easier.

the HW KB thingy i didn't miss in the HD, Finger Keyboard 2.1 is really great in landscape mode (even better than the Xperia HW KB.

i have to fix my X1, i really love it. but i need some time to relax.

only then, a cup of coffee & a fine Cigar will do the job :P

i have to retrace them

Is it possible to use SPB Pocket Plus on my Wings? I have WM6.1 installed. But when i try to install pocket plus it says "this program was not intended for this device"
[HTC Wings] znial:
spb pocket plus is a software for PPC, wings is a SMARTPHONE (no tuchscreen) so it cannot run.
[HTC Wings] brottochstraff:
Ok, i understand. Just thought that it supported both becouse i could not find the info on ther webpage. Is there any other simular apps that work on a smartphone then? I am trying out Smart Toolkit now, it works ok, but does not completely fill my needs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barff1984:
ok so firstly, i'm wondering, if i buy spb shell 3 and throw it on my d2....if i don't like it, how easy is it to switch back to the default interface?

Is SPB shell 3 any good? do people recommend it?

I'm still having problems with youtube app. i've tried hard resetting but it's still saying no connection please try again or something. I'm tried turning proxy on and off and nothing happens.

does spb shell drain the battery more than the touch flo?

thanks for the help if anyone replies
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barff1984:
also does spb shell use the same keyboard as the d2 default? i like the default one, really useful

and finally is there an app that means i can switch from spb shell to touch flo when i want? that would be the best idea i guess
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo987:
You just need to remove the program for the default to return, nice and easy.

personally I think its pretty good, I've had it on for a week or so now and its got everything I'd expect from it, I'd say its not quite as smooth as TF3D for scrolling large program menus but other than that its a great piece of software. You can always get the trial version from their website and see what you think though: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/download.html

not that I've noticed, I've not done any formal tests but it seems about the same and memory useage is about the same too.

Hope this helps
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo987:
sorry, just seen your other post. Yes it does use the same keyboard and you can switch from touch flo to shell easily but I'm not sure how easy it is to go the other way around. Since uninstalling shell immediately reverts the phone to touch flo I guess there should be a way of doing it but I've not seen one around.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfahmy:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel:
I find the same issue intermitently with youtube. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I just keep going in until it works.

It might be due to the poor receptionn of my service provider (I am changing now). Or probably some bug with the version of the application we have. You can also try skyfire and just use the youtube web site.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Hey everyone. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this sorted but I just don't know what to do!

So, when I got my X1 as everyone on here should do, was flash my X1 with the HardSPL and some custom roms, this was a few months back. Then, shock! Horror! My case went and broke, (cracked near the volume button build W44) so I sent it back to SE for repair. I sent it back reset back to defaults but left the hardspl on there.

SE sent me a brand new phone (I think... This one says under the battery build w50, but the battery says w32..) I received it today. I thought it would be my old one repaired but SE had other ideas. Booted up and have Image Version: 1.03.931.10 and HardSPL 72.000 I think I said that correctly...

Now since sending it for repair and receiving it back, their seems to be quite a few wm6.5 roms floating about, and obviously I can't use the stock software as that wouldn't be right!

Now I have tried flashing the hardspl to the phone through my Vista PC and all it keeps giving me is connection errors. I thought maybe it was already flashed so I tried flashing just a rom, and that just made the phone get stuck on loading (flash by memory card). I thought it might be Vista, so I tried doing it on my other PC (XP) and I get the same issue. This bloody thing won't flash!

I have had "Connection Problems" - "Update Errors" with different numbers. The current one being Error [260] CONNECTION.

Now I have been searching around through the hardspl thread and other places trying to find out what I need to do or how I can fix it, but everything I try doesn't make a difference. I did read some other people with recently repaired phones having the same problem and perhaps SE have put a new spl thingy-ma-jiggy on there. (Please forgive the technical jargon, I have no idea what im on about.) I have also tried the ticking/unticking advanced network functionality, but that hasn't made a difference either.

So by the end of typing this, I have little hair left. Let's hope you can all help, before I have none left!

I would appreciate ANY help! Really.

Just wanted to add, I was at first getting the phone to a loading bar when flashing, but it would stay at 0% then flag up an error on the PC. Now after the tri-colour bars, the phone just sticks on Loading...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Well just to update. I have been trying to sort this since posting. I flashed the rom to an old UK generic one, as I read in another topic people had to do that before HardSPL. Done that, and tried flashing the hardspl. Same thing, just getting connection errors.

I tried going into bootloader and running the hardspl from there. It works and the phone gets to 10% and then gives an UPDATE ERROR. The phone is now bricked, and I have to reflash the original wm rom to get it back.

Though the Tricolour screen now shows 0.52.Olinex

Any ideas? :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Shameless bump for help. :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] okokur:
very stupid situation.

i have the same situation in puncto of flashing.

i get my phone three month ago.

after hardspl i .... sorry, no hardspl ... the phone says at 0% bla bla bla

i solve the problem by consulting one night absolutly stressing again and again and again .... google ... xda ... google

than 3 thinks at one time was the solution:

0. need activesync - connect !!!!

1. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe for desktop pc

2. enterbootloader.exe for pocketpc (please, the right version, it exist for eten too, but we need the xpediaversion ..)

3. changing registry-entries

how to:

activesync-connect, than copy "enterbootloader.exe" to pocketpc. it must be root, not sd-card. use a pocketpc-registry-program to change these values :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1

if not exist than add the key.

now, start desktop-program, follow instruction EXCEPT reboot.

start "enterbootloader.exe" on pocketpc. now, you can install hardspl and the device is flashable for ever.

thats works on me, hope it could help you too.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Thanks for the reply. Not had time to try it till this morning. Ok so, after spending about an hour trying to find the correct enterbootloader.exe I finally realized, that the hardspl package includes it. *Duh!* So that was time wasted.

I changes the registry values as you said with Resco registry editor, and follower the unlock then enterbootloader.exe Start HardSPL package. Starts to install. Gets to 10% then I get

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

The rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.

So im open to suggestions if anyone has any. :( I just can't understand why it's not working. It's not a problem with my computer or cables. I flashed the phone before I sent it for repair and I have tried doing it on two computers one with XP 32bit and one with Vista 64bit.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
If it's a case of the software/firmware/hardspl whatever you call it, has been updated by SE. How would one go about getting it flashed? Would we have to wait for an update HardSPL to be released?

Yeah, I have been through that thread with a fine toothcombe trying everything suggested to see if I can make it work.

When you get yours back, if you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it to flash or can't do it. Please come and let me know in this thread. If they have updated yours like mine, and yours won't flash, at least I won't be the only one!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] orcondope:

Download this and unzip it to your device. ++ run it. It will start your X1 in Bootloader menu and say "0.52.OliNex".

Then start hardspl while X1 is in Bootloadermenu....

FINISH =)

Thanks for the reply matey. Glad you got yours sorted. Just tried what you said and I get 0% then it switches to ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Yea, im not sure what the problem was with it. Thankfully I have it done and dusted today! Because I flashed it earlier to an older official version, and you said you got it working. I presumed you had - had yours flashed to the newest version due to it being off for repair. So I reflashed the official update and fully updated it. Then tried hardspl which didn't work. Tried with the advanced USB thing off, tried again with how you said you did it above, and Viola!

Hip hip hoorah! Thanks for the help. :) Can finally use me bleedin phone now!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] orcondope:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] okokur:

1. complete official update (if exists)

2. flashing (hardspl) without "advanced usb"

thats all?

cool.

Yes that's right. :) Also make sure you have the hardspl in a seperate folder from everything else.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] JohnnyDH:
Hi all,

For everyone with the problem with TomTom Navigator whereby it only announces part of the directions, attached is a small application which provides a workaround.

It works by playing a short silent WAV file in a loop in the background, starting TomTom then shutting itself down automatically once TomTom is closed. This is basically the same mechanism as mentioned on another thread whereby a silent MP3 is played through a script in an external MP3 player but written as a self-contained program.

To run TomTom with the fix:

If you don't already have it, first install the Microsoft .NET 3.5 Compact Framework. Available as a cab here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2ZGV1DNJ.

Unzip the attached TomTom Audio Fix.zip and copy TomTom Audio Fix.exe into your TomTom Navigator directory e.g. "\Program Files\Navigator". You can then just run TomTom Audio Fix.exe which will automatically start TomTom.

This has been tested on TT 7.910 (9185) and 7.915 (9196), please post here if you try it out with whether it's working ok or you run into any problems!

Updates

v1.10:

- Icon refreshed, now displaying correctly.

- When run, TomTom Audio Fix.exe will now automatically generate a "TomTom Navigator.lnk" shortcut in the current directory. This can be copied directly over the installed TomTom shortcut in the start menu; saving the need to manually create a shortcut to the fix.

v1.11:

- Thanks to Mr_Q, this is now provided as a .cab file:

º Automatically copies file to TomTom Navigator directory and overwrites the shortcut in the start menu.

º Install the cab in the same location as you installed TomTom (eg. Storage Card), else it won't work.​

- Removed redundant change from 1.10 which created the TomTom Navigator shortcut.

Regards,

JDH

What´s .NET 3.5 Compact Framework?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rodgauman:
@JohnnyDH

Do I understand it right, after installing the fix I have to start the fix from explorer and TT will start automatically??

In that case is there a chance for a shortcut in programm directory? That would make it more easy than starting the programm everytime from explorer.

Thanks for the answer.

Rodgauman
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rodgauman:
Beside my question one post before, the fix worked fine. Only a shortcut would be fine.

I tried to copied the fix into windows\startmenue folder, but then the correct path will not be found.

I have navigator on my storage card installed. Path is in german:

Mein Gerät\Speicherkarte\Programme\Navigator

When I start the fix from there it works fine.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] daffie:
